There can often be ...I'm sure you're right. There can often be some other stuff about giving everyone space and hiding places. Sometimes if you want to add a fish into a tank that already has a fish in it, you have to move all the rocks and stuff around first so that your previous fish feels like it's in a new territory and doesn't attack the new one as an intruder.<br /><br />It can even be about putting so many fish in a tank that none of them are able to call any part of it their own territory. You have to work with the instincts of the fish and sometimes the answer can be a little odd.Joseph JGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11623613806055217490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1711029747294427530.post-78856387217860219452011-09-12T15:40:17.834+01:002011-09-12T15:40:17.834+01:00I'm thinking it's a matter of each predato...I'm thinking it's a matter of each predator seeing each other predator as "too big." The fish do seem to recognize the uh... big... fish?... and pay them some degree of respect. When that lionfish snaps at his food, everyone else BOLTS.<br /><br />Maybe the lionfish got a little too close to that fortress.Crunchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01168966625437103310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1711029747294427530.post-3262713188272756212011-09-12T14:55:59.485+01:002011-09-12T14:55:59.485+01:00Nice!

It's great that you saw one there, I once saw one for sale at a fish shop. That one wasn't hidden in the least, it was stretching and looking down on us all. Amazing stuff!<br /><br />It's surprising what creatures an experienced fish-keeper can keep together. You saw what happens when it goes a little wrong. I'm sure you can imagine what happens when it goes a lot MORE wrong!Joseph JGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11623613806055217490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1711029747294427530.post-49542097371709729672011-09-12T14:33:27.800+01:002011-09-12T14:33:27.800+01:00They have a beautiful aquarium at an office I freq...They have a beautiful aquarium at an office I frequent, which is home to all sorts of wonderful, territorial predators (honestly I'm amazed they haven't all eaten each other yet). They have a huge Snowflake Eel living in the rocks at the bottom of the tank, and despite its color it hides so well I didn't notice it at all until the fifth time I ventured by. <br /><br />So anyway, the eel took a huge chunk out of the lionfish's tail. Guess they didn't feed it enough.Crunchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01168966625437103310noreply@blogger.com
